- 1). Identify the cause. Redness and dark spots can be caused by a long list of things, from acne and eczema to allergic reactions, dryness and even autoimmune disease. Your doctor can help narrow down the root of your skin problems, but be aware that it may take some time to nail down the exact problem.
- 2). Stick to your treatment. The exact treatment regime you follow will depend on what is causing your redness and dark spots, but be sure to adhere to the plan your doctor develops for you to avoid another flare-up of your condition. Possible treatments include over-the-counter or prescription topical treatments, antibiotics and medications for autoimmune conditions.
- 3). Consider a specialist. If your redness persists, or if some your redness and dark spots are caused by scarring, you may need help from a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. These doctors can use dermabrasions, chemical peels, laser treatments and other more invasive treatments to improve the condition of your skin.
